It sounds to me that you're using the wrong port configuration. That or you're trying to run this through usb 1.1 which will connect it but doesn't have sufficient connectivity to affectively use. I mean you're timing out the system which means its trying to get a whole host of information at one time and it can't. Imagine trying to run true high speed internet through an old telephone set modem that only does 2 kbps. It just won't work. My suggestion is connect it to a usb
2.0 port set the com port manually to match the USB device and try running the program again.

Other issues in this case is that you could be using a generic usb driver which will look like its connecting might even say its connected, but most likely isn't. (Windows Xp in general and Windows vista any of them have this problem.)

And then it hangs... Sometimes I can get it to try again and then
fiddle with baud rates, but it takes 6 minutes between each attempt(and then it hangs after fiddling with the baud rates).

I would have thought it was a general connection problem (of the sortwhose discussion is banned) except the connection is working well
enough to see the USB device and its diagnostic interface. Browsingto the port shows:

Sorry for the bad etiquette of replying twice, but I think I've solved
it, thanks to your pointers.
The key seems to be at <http://www.bitpim.org/help/lg6000-cables.htm>.
It's not the baud rate that's the problem. It's that the phone
defaults to assigning the diagnostic port to be serial (UART1) and the
data port to be USB (USB CDC). (It turns out it's more complicated
than this, but it's apparently specified by the wireless carrier.)
The way current versions of BitPim handle direct USB is to do
everything over direct USB (e.g. usb::id). I think older versions
were using usbserialXXXX (which modern versions aren't, at least under
Mac OS X 10.4.10 and 10.5). I don't know whether BitPim can reinstate
this old behavior?
In the interim, the solution is to go into the service menu (as
described in the help page above). Then change PortMap Diag (2) to
"USB DIAG". I found that this got reset if I did it before plugging
in the phone. It also seemed to get reset if I left PortMap Data (1)
set to USB CDC. So the reliable workaround is:
1) Plug the phone in to the USB cable.
2) Go to the service menu (0, 000000, 5)
3) Change PortMap Data to UART1.
4) Change PortMap Diag to USB DIAG.
5) Exit the service menu. (Do NOT reboot. This resets these settings too.)
6) Use BitPim.
I hope this helps others!
Does this serial vs. USB issue sound like a BitPim glitch in its Mac
support? (Or does USBAppleCDCMDriver.kext simply no longer support LG
phones?) In any event, how should I report this work-around so that
it makes its way into the help pages?
(And on a separate note, I can't seem to write SMS inbox/outbox or
camera pictures back to the phone. They just get skipped. Where
should I report this?)
